Chapter 93 Stunned

Chen Ying was also inexplicably surprised and looked at Li Xiuning in confusion, wondering why her reaction was so big.

However, what Chen Ying didn't know was that since Chai Shao lost his newlywed Li Xiuning and fled alone in his life in the 13th year of Daye, Li Xiuning left a shadow in his heart and hated those men who were not supported. All the troops led by Princess Pingyang were very clear that if any soldiers showed timidity or fear of fighting on the battlefield, Princess Pingyang would not have to supervise the team and would just draw their swords and chop people.

So Li Xiuning has never been a false color for those who are not in charge. When Li Xiuning saw Chen Ying's gift list of 600 to 700 yuan, she couldn't help but get angry. She instantly thought of only one possibility that Chen Ying gave her such a heavy gift, with the purpose of rejecting the mission to support Lingzhou.

Going to Lingzhou to support is not only a high risk, but also a very hard work along the way. Looking at Chen Ying's delicate skin and tender flesh, he definitely doesn't want to suffer this hardship.

When she met Chai Shao, she had no choice. She could not be her own marriage with Chai Shao. When Li Xiuning met Chen Ying, she thought she had met her good friend. However, in fact, Chen Ying was not a waste of gold or scattered things. Thinking of this, Li Xiuning couldn't help but feel ache in her heart.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning's pretty face turned ferocious, and she shouted in a stern voice: "Get out, don't let me see you again!"

Chen Ying didn't know why Li Xiuning's princess was sick. A evil spirit rushed into his forehead. He was about to do it, but he saw Li Xiuning staring at him in the light and looking very different from before. He was stunned for a moment, and finally understood in his heart that Li Xiuning was the minister.

The official position is called a minister.--"Book of Rites·Liyun" pictographic. The oracle bone characters are shaped like an upright eye. When a person bows his head, his eyes are in a erect position. The shape of the characters is exactly the meaning of bowing down and submitting to the head. The original meaning is: refers to a male **li. Chen Ying is still a minister after all, and he is also a servant of the monarch. He said lightly: "Even if His Highness the Princess doesn't care about these amulets, Chen Ying doesn't have to be annoying to these eyes!"

As he said that, Chen Ying picked up the snow-white and handsome Shih Tzu and walked out the door.

When Chen Ying left, he was very determined. Even if Ma Sanbao wanted to take him to drink with him, he would just turn it off.

After this incident, Chen Ying strengthened his confidence and must become a person. Not to mention a princess, even the emperor would not want to shy his face.

When Chen Ying returned to the mansion, he slept with his head and it was not until the next day that Chen Ying woke up slowly. This is the best thing about Chen Ying. No matter what setbacks or unpleasant things happen, if you sleep with your head and sleep with your head, you will definitely be full of blood the next day.

After a simple washing, Chen Ying saw Lan'er holding the Xi Tzu dog and said carefully: "Mr., can you stop killing Xiaobai and eating meat?"

"Eat meat? What meat?"

Chen Ying was a little inexplicably strange.

Seeing the car full of wealth and money walking around and then coming back, Lan'er was very happy. Lan'er said: "I heard that this kind of little dog meat rolled onto three times, and even the gods couldn't stand firm!"

"Don't listen to people's nonsense. This Shih Tzu can buy three or five hundred sheep. Who can eat it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lang!"

This Shih Tzu is so beautiful. Not to mention Lan'er, even Chen Ying likes it very much.

Before Chen Ying had breakfast, an eunuch named Qian Xiaowu of the Eastern Palace summoned Chen Ying to the palace for discussion. Chen Ying did not dare to neglect it. He picked up two steamed buns and followed Qian Xiaowu toward the East Palace. The steamed buns in this era were different from the steamed buns in later generations. To be precise, they should be buns with meat filling. However, Chen Ying did not eat the fishy smell of mutton, and the buns in Chen's house were made of large meat filling.

After successfully coming to the East Palace, Li Jiancheng was not polite to Chen Ying and met Chen Ying in the dining hall. Li Jiancheng said, "Come on, come on, come on, sit down and drink a bowl of porridge without breakfast."

Chen Ying was not dissatisfied and sat down and asked the palace maids who were serving beside him to help him serve a bowl of millet porridge to eat.

Li Jiancheng said: "It's really a turbulent time now. Liu Wu and Zhou soldiers invaded Fenzhou and Jinzhou. Your imperial edict will be issued for up to three days. The province will issue any supplies you need to prepare. This palace will prepare for you in advance!"

Chen Ying actually guessed that Li Jiancheng called him over early in the morning mostly for this matter. He thought that Li Jiancheng would not say anything, and Chen Ying would also mention it to him.

"Reported to the Prince, the entire army of the Xun Mansion is mainly equipped with hook and sickle spears, and the gap between the crossbows and armor is very large." Chen Ying said: "Although the hook and sickle spear is powerful, it can only deal with the rebels of the side. The rebels of the side are not many bows, so they do not wear armor and have little impact. However, the Turks and Liang Shidu troops are equipped with quite a few bows and crossbows, without armor and armor. Once they fight, they will definitely suffer an astonishing loss."

Li Jiancheng nodded and looked at the silver-inlaid chopsticks, thinking that Chen Ying was not only from a poor background, but everything else was not satisfactory. Whether it was defeating Luo Zonghu or a sidelined land, Chen Ying had a certain amount of luck in it. Zong Luohu was careless and lost Jingzhou, so he didn't look at Chen Ying, and he suffered a great loss in negligence.

The sidekick was killed by Mrs. Chongyi, who accidentally took action, which was equivalent to Chen Ying picking up a merit for nothing. Although luck is also a kind of strength, a person cannot always have good luck.

It is rare that he completely recognizes the situation, and his scheming and courage are no worse than others.

Li Jiancheng is not afraid of young people being better and more scheming than him. If he wants to control the future Tang Dynasty, it is not possible to rely on mediocre talents who only know how to flatter and flatter, and of course he can't do it.

Li Jiancheng said: "There are some armors in Chang'an City. How many do you need? Report the number!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he naturally would not be polite, and he was given a list.

The main armors of the Tang Dynasty were divided into thirteen types, including Mingguang, Guangyao, fine scales, mountain text, bird hammer, white cloth, soapjuan, cloth back, infantry, leather armor, wooden armor, locks, vests, etc. Among them, Mingguang, Guangyao, lockzi, mountain text, bird hammer, and fine scale armor are iron armor. The last three types are named after the style of armor pieces. Leather armor, wooden armor, white cloth, soapjuan, and cloth back are named after the manufacturing materials. Among armor, Mingguang armor is still the most common use.

Of course, the characteristics and functions of each type of armor are different. Chain mail is generally combined with iron wire or iron ring buckles into a garment shape. Each ring is buckled with another four rings, shaped like a net lock. It was introduced to China from the Western Regions. It was first recorded in "The Armor Table of the Principals of the Last Emperor". "Book of Jin. Records of Lu Guang" describes such armor "armors are like ring locks and cannot be shot in. Of course, the defense of chain mail against bows and crossbows is quite good, but the defense of swords and axes is less weak.

Although the chain mail is not as defensive as the Mingguang armor, it is lighter in quality, making it easier for soldiers to make flexible and complex body movements, such as running and jumping.

Chen Ying immediately wrote: 800 pairs of Mingguang armor, 600 pairs of chain mail and mountain pattern armor each.

Li Jiancheng glanced at it and shook his head.

Chen Ying thought Li Jiancheng was not satisfied with Chen Ying reported it too much, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, the loss rate of this armor was amazing after the battle. I reported it more just to serve as a reserve..."

"How can I not even know about this!"

Li Jiancheng picked up the pen and added a few strokes on the paper. The number actually turned into 1,800 pairs of Mingguang armor, 1,600 pairs of chain armor, mountain pattern armor and fine scale armor, horizontal sword, mo sword, spear, and shield.
